Intervention not reported

Eyes within ± 0.5 D of target refraction · participants aged 18‐60 years with myopia ranging in severity up to 12 diopters (D)

It is very uncertain whether the intervention changes eyes within ± 0.5 D of target refraction (very low certainty).

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) vs photorefractive keratectomy (PRK)

Eyes within ± 0.5 D of target refraction · patients with myopia

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) showed no clear difference in within 0.50 D of target refraction compared with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) (low certainty).

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical microkeratome vs LASIK with a femtosecond laser

Adverse effects: corneal haze · adults (18 years) with more than 0.5 diopters of myopia or myopic astigmatism

It is very uncertain whether laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical… changes corneal haze, any time point compared with LASIK with a femtosecond laser (very low certainty).

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical microkeratome vs LASIK with a femtosecond laser

Dry eye, any time point · adults (18 years) with more than 0.5 diopters of myopia or myopic astigmatism

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical… may leads to higher dry eye, any time point compared with LASIK with a femtosecond laser (low certainty).

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical microkeratome vs LASIK with a femtosecond laser

Diffuse lamellar keratitis, any time point · adults (18 years) with more than 0.5 diopters of myopia or myopic astigmatism

Laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical… may leads to lower diffuse lamellar keratitis, any time point compared with LASIK with a femtosecond laser (low certainty).

Epithelial ingrowth, any time point · adults (18 years) with more than 0.5 diopters of myopia or myopic astigmatism

It is very uncertain whether laser‐assisted in‐situ keratomileusis (LASIK) with a mechanical… changes epithelial ingrowth, any time point compared with LASIK with a femtosecond laser (very low certainty).
